Good morning, this is your Tesla Daily Update for Saturday, October third, twenty twenty-six.
Because markets are closed for the weekend, today's edition focuses on the latest verified developments from Friday and the most recent trading session.
Tesla's biggest headline is its third-quarter delivery report. The company delivered four hundred eighty-six thousand, five hundred thirty-two vehicles and produced four hundred sixty-four thousand, three hundred ninety-one. Deliveries were about two point one percent below the record set a year earlier, but they were well above the average Wall Street forecast. Model Three and Model Y accounted for nearly all deliveries. Tesla also delivered more vehicles than it produced, suggesting the company reduced finished-vehicle inventory during the quarter.
The energy business also remained large. Tesla reported thirteen point seven gigawatt-hours of energy storage deployments, slightly above the prior quarter and higher than a year earlier. That result reinforces the role of Megapack and Powerwall as an increasingly important part of the company's operating story.
In product news, Tesla provided more detail on Emergency Drive Away, a safety feature that lets a driver leave a threatening situation while the vehicle is still connected to a Supercharger. Tesla warns that using it will damage the charge port and charging equipment. Electrek reports that worst-case Supercharger repairs could reach twenty-five thousand dollars, while the vehicle would require a service inspection. The feature is designed for genuine emergencies, not convenience.
Tesla also received encouraging demand signals from Britain. September battery-electric registrations reached a record ninety-nine thousand, one hundred ninety-nine vehicles. The Model Three was the country's best-selling electric vehicle and the second best-selling car overall, while the Model Y also ranked among the top five cars.
Looking at the market reaction, Tesla shares tumbled in Friday's session despite the delivery beat. The stock closed at three hundred fifty-four dollars and eight cents, down twenty-two dollars and twenty-nine cents, or about five point nine-two percent, from Thursday's close of three hundred seventy-six dollars and thirty-seven cents. The reversal shows that investors are weighing strong vehicle volumes against valuation, margins, and expectations for Tesla's artificial intelligence, robotaxi, and robotics plans.
That's all for today's Tesla update. Stay tuned for the next edition.
